little froggie story

Jus heard this little anecdote on radio.

Two little frogs were at the bottom of a tall pagoda, staring up at the endless flight of steps. They decided to compete and see who managed to reach the top of the pagoda first. So they started jumping, and jumping, and jumping…

Around them, people were muttering, these little frogs are mad. How could they, so minute in size, conquer a structure so immense? It was impossible, they declared. The two little frogs should really not waste their time and energy.

One of the little frogs wavered. He started to feel the ache in his little legs, and the fatigue of the marathon jump overcoming him. Suddenly, it dawned on him that he would never be able to reach the top. Hence, he gave up.

However, the other frog persisted, and continued jumping, and jumping, and jumping with frogged determination. And yes yes, like all fairy tales, he finally reached the top.

Why was he able to reach the top, while the other frog failed?

For the simple reason that he was deaf.

An interesting anecdote, no doubt, that leaves room for inference. Which frog are u?
